As the summer nears its end I made the long expedition back to the city that I've come to call my home, Atlanta. While The United States is known as the country where dreams are made possible Atlanta is one of a small collection of cities in the U.S. that essentially breeds stars, so to speak; make it here and you can make it anywhere.

On the car ride today my mother insinuated that a job in the medical field or a profession that had to do with sports. I've heard this statement hundreds of times and every time I hear it I cannot help but to be overwhelmed/ concerned for those of us in the world that are being discouraged from pursuing careers that may be more fulfilling for an individual's personal enjoyment but may fail to be considered worthy professions. While making enough to pay the bills should be a genuine concern it should not be synonymous of pursuing a dream that is more rooted into your interests, the liberal arts has not lost its appeal and no longer holds much purpose in the real world where living costs are on a steady rise and wages fail to compete with the rate.

For those that fear that they must come to a compromise and put their wishes on hold to have a more practical job profession I ask that you have faith that everything will work out for you if exert your maximum effort in making your dream work for you, you too can create the reality that you are searching for. The moon is essentially the limit when it comes to selecting your path.

Don't let preconceived notions of what it takes to succeed or a societal consensus of the same data stop you from doing that which makes you happy.
